Robbie Kerr's A1 Grand Prix fortunes have again given him a challenge for
the races tomorrow with a tenth place position on the grid. Traffic and
technical issues hampered Kerrs' efforts. Following battery failure at
Brands Hatch and a first lap incident at EuroSpeedway, Kerr's points don't
yet reflect his performance and efforts. Having come from 24th to second in
the last race it's a good bet that he'll be putting up a good fight to get
back on the podium tomorrow.

Robbie Kerr. "We've all been restricted to two
sets of new rubber for qualifying because of the wet conditions yesterday so
in the first session I went out on older rubber to get a feel for the car
Unfortunately the Italians completely mucked my lap up by blocking me for
the whole lap and not looking in his mirrors which is a bit frustrating and
we'd made a change to the car so we weren't too sure where we were with it.

"We put the new tyres on and it went well and then we used them again for the
third go -- I lost a bit of time with the tyres being older. Then on the
fourth run the time just wasn't there -- it felt really strange but now
we've found a minor technical problem that will be put right for tomorrow."
